Napoli 1250

The Napoli 1250 range is specifically designed for high temperature pizza cooking. Although designed specifically for pizza, the Napoli 1250 can cook a diverse range of dishes whilst running purely on a choice of wood, gas or a combination of the two. Boasting traditional Naples styled aesthetics with the benefits of a modern internal refractory core, the Napoli 1250 is the smaller of the commercial Napoli range, perfect for small and medium sized demanding pizzerias.

Manufactured in the UK, the Napoli 1250 has a 1250mm internal diameter cooking floor (6 x 12” pizza capacity). You can find our ovens on the DEFRA exemption list, complying with the Clean Air Act. The Napoli 1250 oven is made up of a high density, 100mm thick refractory dome which is heavily insulated and designed for optimum heat retention (refer to heat retention chart below). The oven floor has the perfect material composition to guarantee a high strength, robust deck whilst maintaining the porous characteristics required for fast and effective pizza cooking. The oven core has a traditional Naples style cast iron decorative facia, integrated thermocouple thermometer, is finished with a glass fibre reinforced mortar render and is mounted on an industrial heavy gauge steel frame, making the Napoli 1250 movable with a pallet truck or forklift.

The Napoli 1250 has a unique material composition, every detail within the design & specification is imperative to the ongoing function and operational running of the oven.Read More

A fundamental area of importance is understanding how a Neapolitan oven should be designed and constructed, all specifications are critical to the smooth running and reliability of the oven.

Dimensional ratios need to be understood, the door width and height has to be correct in relation to the internal diameter and dome height. Failure to achieve the correct ratios can result in the oven under performing, losing heat, overheating and cooking pizzas incorrectly.

The refractory material specification is additionally paramount to the smooth running of the oven, the perfect balance between density, porosity and durability has to be obtained. A Neapolitan cooking environment is very demanding. Failure to achieve the correct composition will result in the oven deteriorating over time and failing to work.

The Napoli 1250 has been designed with all of the considerations taken into account. With vast experience in the sector Gozney Ovens has developed a modern Neapolitan oven that is durable, reliable and performs without fault. For this reason Gozney Ovens is the first choice for particular restauranteurs that only want to install the best.

The Napoli 1250 possesses all the critical requirements needed to produce the perfect Neapolitan pizza, having the exact balance between efficiency, porosity, strength and durability.Read More

The Napoli 1250 oven core is kiln dried before leaving the manufacturers, meaning no lengthy curing fires need to be undertaken when the Napoli is installed. Due to the specially designed material composition, densely insulated cooking floor and dome, the Napoli 1250 Oven has unbeatable heat retention.

Once the oven has reached 500°C, it will take approximately one week to cool down. This adds huge benefit when using the oven on a daily basis. Once the oven has finished its daily operations it can be closed down. The oven temperature will only reduce by 40°C to 50°C over a 12 hour period, meaning morning heat up times are reduced to as little as 10 minutes.

Being a Neapolitan oven, the unit specially designed to consistently cook pizzas in temperatures over 400°C. With our high density material composition, the deck recovery time between pizza’s is less than 5 seconds, allowing the busiest of pizzerias to consistently produce high volumes of pizzas 7 days a week. The Napoli 1250 is capable of cooking 180 pizzas per hour, 12 hours per day.

Specifically designed and developed for cooking at temperatures that exceed 400°C, Neapolitan Pizza is the Napoli 1250’s core function, although not limited to just making Pizza.Read More

Understanding the ovens heat cycles means that the oven can be used for different styles of cooking. A good example of this would be Neapolitan pizzerias looking to create sourdough loaves for use within part of their menu as bruschetta. These loaves can be cooked in the morning using the oven’s retained heat prior to the oven being re-lit for that day’s pizza service. This is due to the Napoli’s unbeatable heat retention.

Other fast cooked items can also be put through the oven when in operation for pizza cooking, cast iron skillets are often used for chefs looking to create “one pot” fast cooked starters.

If you are looking to cook below 400°C, 350°C, for example, the Traditional 1250 would be a good alternative. This oven is designed for a wider range of dishes and multi dish cooking is more achievable. The Napoli excels at 60 second pizza and other fast cooked food items or as a finishing oven.
